This one is from 2003 when my now 13 year old was only 15 months old (my how time flies).

I used Getting Spruced Up S241 for this layout. I kept it simple so that it fits nice and flat in a scrapbook. I used some die cuts to cut out the title from glitter card stock, a Star punch and spruce die, and ric rac ribbon to finish it off.

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os and a few Copics...

I needed to get started on some Valentine's Day cards for the kids' teachers.

I chose Sunday's Best (on sale 50% off at Stamp and Create- only 1 available; or here at High Hopes) for my son's teacher. It's nice and cute, but not overly "lovey-dovey" since it's a card for a teacher from a 5th grade boy ;-)

This image is really cute for a Mother's Day card as well.

Well it's back to the grind! My kids went back to school yesterday after their almost-3 week break. I love being home with them, but it is hard to get anything done. We had a great time together while they were on break and we are looking forward to a great year!

Today I am sharing a scrapbook page I made of my kids from a few years ago. I'm a little behind with their Halloween scrapbooking ;-)

I have a nasty head cold that I have been fighting with for over a week now and I really haven't felt well enough to do any crafting. Therefore, I didn't get the second page done. I will have to finish when I feel better.

As a reminder, everything is on sale 25%-60% off the enter store at Stamp and Create!!

****** I live in Florida so it's usually still horribly hot this time of year. However, we recently had some cooler temperatures. By cooler, I mean mid-80's. Not exactly sweater weather but still nicer than sweating while just going out to get the kids from the bus stop! But...whenever we get cooler, that usually means the rest of the world is freezing! I hope that our cooler-than-normal temps we had earlier this week means that some of you are starting to feel some Fall temps. Although I'm not quite ready for winter, I sure am ready for some Fall weather!!

I hope you all are enjoying your summer. It's been busy for us. We've been in and out of town for the past few weeks. First a trip to Destin, FL with the family and then an Anniversary weekend with my husband in Savannah, GA. We are looking forward to being home for a few weeks before our next trip.

Both of my kids play soccer. This is a cute image that resembles my son a little, but my daughter is the goalie in the family. I made this card for my husband for father's day. I used the kids' team colors of Gold, White, and Black.
